Fright Night

I expected a horror movie for such a long time, and what I expect is to get me scarred. Fright Night indeed scared me.
At the beginning, I only seen some corpses and said to myself 'What a rubbish'. I wanted to leave, but I said what the heck I paid money to see the movie let's see if they worthed.
One thing that change the whole perspective of the movie was Colin Farrel. He is represented as the hot neighbor who will steal your girlfriend and your mother if he could. In fact he is a thirsty vampire who will turn your house into pieces in order to drink your blood and protect his species. I think Colin was a good choice for the role, he is the one who can keep the temperature of the room cold if he wants to. I am only seeing Colin as the actor to play in all kind of 'keep your temper' roles. Even when he smokes his cigarette or drink his beer he keeps his temper and acts naturally.
You really get scared and you need to keep yourself on the chair beacuse it induces fear into your bones.
For the main actor Anton Yelchin I have only words of praise. He kept his temper in many situations and acted cleanly through the movie. He also stared in Star Trek and Terminator Salvation. And yes Jerry is a terrible name for an vampire.
Craig Gillespie is the one who is directing this movie. He is not well known but he did a great job in remaking this classic movie.
Altogether you can go and be scared at this movie.

London Boulevard

The director and writer Wiliam Monahan created a twisted movie based on the novel of Ken Bruen. Together with Colin Farrel, he created a cold blood gangster movie. What surprised me from the beginning of the movie was the lack of smiling on Colin Farrel's face. In fact, the only time he laughs, is at his friend's funeral.
From the beginning, the viewer is induced in a cool transition that captivates him and prepares him for the story to come. Mitchel is a former prisoner who is released again on the ruthless streets of London. He has a good criminal reputation so he is haunted by some big criminals in order to do their job. However, he looks pretty decided to being a good guy life and to give up on his life of crime. But the trick is that nothing goes the way it's planned.

Colin Farrel is making a terrific acting. He is a piece in the puzzle. I can't think of a better actor who could be the lead role of this movie. He is cold when he needs to be, he is warm and acts like it, he is very confident in every aspect of his playing. He turned into a great actor and you can clearly see this.

Another thing I want to say is about the former Pirates of Caribbean star, Keira Knightley, who is playing Charlotte, a cinema star, who hires Mitchel for keeping paparazzi away from her. She is doing a great job even if she appears in very few but essential scenes and she does it with great grace and confidence.
The movie has everything a gangster movie needs, brutal deaths, lack of humanity and mercy and most of all, the element of surprise, which is present all around the movie thanks to it's great director, Wiliam Monahan.
I challenge you to see this movie no telling the very last important scene, but I will spoil something... you won't know what hit you after the last scene.
